As you may have heard, the Government is issuing a new British citizenship test. Here is a sample of ten questions. 75% to pass. Go forth and test you “Britishness”!
These ones seem to be fairly simple but I have heard they can get much more ridiculous. But, of course, it really is important that you know things like who the patron saint of Scotland is if you want to function adequately in British society. You really can’t get by without that knowledge.

One day The Queen Mother caught her doing it and gave her a clip round the ear and made her apologise to all the guards
I ‘won’ this London 2012 Olympics mug at work, so obviously the British thing to do is test it by having a brew in it! Mmmmm :}
Personally Nathan thinks all accents in the United Kingdom are fantastic, each for different reasons, but they all have one thing in common which just makes them FANTASTIC
And that is all that matters right?
…It just reminded me of England. ^__^’
